The conversation about the definition of “woman” has gone completely off the rails. It’s now less about reality and more about appeasing feelings. It’s not progress, it’s societal self-delusion. Women are being gaslit into erasing their own identities to cater to an ideology that demands validation at all costs. It’s shocking that so many people, particularly those who call themselves feminists, have allowed this to happen without more pushback.
The refusal to define what a woman is despite centuries of hard-won understanding of women’s biological, social, and political realities is a cowardly cop-out. If you can’t answer the most basic question of who your movement is fighting for, what the hell are you even fighting for? Feminism at its core has always been about securing rights for women. Not for people who “feel like women” or want to be women… but for the actual, lived experience of those born female. That experience comes with a unique set of challenges rooted in biology, culture, and historical oppression.
The current gender ideology movement tries to make womanhood something intangible; something anyone can access simply by declaring it. That’s nonsense. Womanhood is not a costume, a feeling, or a vibe. It’s a reality grounded in biology and societal experiences. Despite what they claim, biology matters. Women face specific forms of oppression because of their biological realities – like menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and vulnerability to male violence. Pretending otherwise erases the very reason feminism was necessary in the first place.
What’s happening now is the erasure of women in favor of appeasing a vocal minority who demand that their feelings be prioritized over facts. You see this in how language is being policed. “Women” are now called “people with uteruses” or “menstruators.” Mothers are now “birthing parents.” Breastfeeding is “chestfeeding.”
This is dehumanizing and insulting. Women fought to have their experiences recognized and validated, and now they’re being reduced to body parts and functions. The irony is that this comes from those who claim to be progressive. But it’s as regressive as it gets. It’s reducing women to their reproductive organs in the name of inclusivity. It’s stripping away everything feminism fought to achieve: recognition of women as whole, complex people. Not just wombs!
This isn’t some abstract debate separate from the real world. It’s starting to impact real life. Biological males are dominating women’s sports. Women who have trained their entire lives are losing to people with male bodies who have a significant biological advantage. That’s not equality. It’s unfair, and it erases women’s achievements. Male-bodied individuals are being placed in women’s prisons, where there have been many documented cases of sexual violence. This is a horrifying betrayal of women’s safety. Women’s unique medical needs are being sidelined in favor of gender-neutral language and policies. Women are already dismissed and ignored in medical settings and this just makes it worse.
The gender ideology movement demands that women prioritize the feelings of others at the expense of their own safety, dignity, and rights. Women are expected to do so quietly, without protest, or else they’re labeled as hateful, bigoted, or transphobic. I think most women are too afraid to speak out because the current climate is so hostile. But deep down, many of them are angry, confused, and hurt by what’s happening. They’re being asked to give up everything women fought for to accommodate people who don’t even acknowledge the reality of their experiences.
Many people who call themselves feminists today aren’t feminists at all. They’re performative allies to an ideology that erases the very people feminism was meant to protect. Conditioned to be “kind” and “compliant” at the expense of their rights. True feminism is about advocating for women’s rights based on their unique lived realities, not bending over backward to accommodate an ideology that can’t even define the term “woman.” The suffragettes and early feminists would be horrified by what’s happening today. They fought for the right to vote, to be heard, to be seen as equals. They didn’t fight for the right to have their identities erased or their spaces invaded by people who don’t share their experiences. We owe it to them and to future generations of women to stand up and say enough is enough.
The real question isn’t “What is a woman?” The real question is “Why are so many people afraid to answer that question?” The answer is simple: because acknowledging reality would mean challenging a powerful, aggressive ideology that demands compliance. But feminism has never been about compliance, it’s about resistance. It’s time for women to reclaim their movement.

Some tweets about Tyre (Sur), Lebanon because you should know this and not because a city needs to be thousands of years old and a UNESCO heritage site to not be targeted by a settler colony of numbered days that's trying to expand

Do you think there shouldn’t be a Jewish state at all? Not even in a different continent?
You might need to sit down for this one but ethnostates shoud not exist, regardless of what continent they might be on lmao
The existence of an ethnostate by default means the subjugation and violence committed against other groups of people and you cannot name anywhere, definitely not a continent, where a homogenous ethostate can be established without displacing the people already living there who are not part of the ethnic group.
The only way this can ever be achieved is through ethnic cleansing and you're literally asking me if I'm in favour of that and the answer is fuck no
